How durable are the ety 4p?
I fall asleep with my 4S pair in my ears all the time...never had a problem with their durability although they do stay in my bedroom all the time so I don't tote them around a lot. They're actually reasonably comfortable to fall asleep in once you get a pair of silicone tips really well...- beni

From their site: "Slip sliding away..." We strongly recommend that you slightly lubricate the bullet attachement before inserting it into any slip-over accessory, or yourself for that matter. This will make removing the bullet later much easier. http://www.audi-oh.com/tips.asp teehee...- beni

Sweetest looking car EVER!!
Hm...it's a gorgeous car but hard to put in the same class as a Viper since it'll cost ~$40,000 more than a Viper. Should be similar performance though and a lot prettier.- beni

CONFUSED: $100 range? hd280/dt231/hd497/hp890?
I'd recommend a pair of Sony V6 or 7506 phones with the Beyerdynamic DT250 replacement pads. You can get a used pair with new pads for under $100 and they should be great for all of your requirements.- beni

I have my ER-6 in hand...
If you're inserting them correctly then yes, the pain will go away. It is entirely possible (at least with the ER-4x) to put them in too far, though, and then it will hurt no matter what and won't add anything to the sound. I'm sure you'll figure it out though.- beni

Somebody mentioned that these were discontinued, I think, but I was just in Circuit City the other day and it's still on sale there for $170. Just in case you can't wait for it to get shipped.- beni

Don't bother looking locally. Magnolia hi-fi has the best selection of headphones to be found, and besides the fact that they still don't have much you have apparently discovered their wonderful customer service as well. There are a lot of high-end audio shops around the U district but none of...- beni

Sounds like typical Magnolia hi-fi prices. On the other hand, their bellevue store does have an orpheus on display, so maybe they're not all bad. When I went to best buy in Federal Way they were out and had no place on the shelf for the player at all, so this might be something to pick up...- beni

brain transplant micro speakers
My ears hurt like hell for at least a couple of weeks when I was learning how to put in my Etys too...I think that's pretty normal. Believe it or not, the Etys really don't go that deep into the ear canal...at least not unless you have the custom molds. Beyond that, there's nothing you can...- beni

Advice wanted on upgrading laptop sound
Yeah, I should have mentioned that. I have a dell CPxJ laptop that I use to watch DVDs with my ksc-35s and the sound quality is pretty darn good. I wouldn't use it as a main listening setup for music, but for casual use the built-in sound is fine. You'll probably want more though since this will...- beni

Advice wanted on upgrading laptop sound
If headphone listening really is your primary concern and not finding a toy to use with your stereo, why not just find a decent CDP and headphone amp instead of trying to use your notebook to do it? As a good example, I just picked up a Sony NS500V player for $160...combine that with an MG head...- beni

Best price for etys, where and how much?

Ety 4P and occasional crackling sound: need repair?
Directly from Etymotic they're $14 for three pairs and $17 for the changing tool if you need that. They don't need to be changed regularly, just when the sound starts to degrade or pop and crackle (and snap).- beni

Best price for etys, where and how much?
Although the Etys look and feel like they would only cost about $10, their actual build quality is very good. These are tough little guys and can withstand much more abuse than one might assume. I had to mail mine back to Etymotic one time because I thought there was a problem with them (turns...- beni
